In all cases where application is made for a license and the amount of license is deposited with the Recorder, and the application is referred to the Director of Public Safety for investigation, and pending investigation the applicant shall engage in the business for which application is made, the application shall be thereafter denied, the Recorder shall deduct from the deposit the proportionate part of the license earned during the time such applicant has engaged in business pending such investigation. If any license shall be revoked for cause, none of the license fee paid shall be refunded. (1986 Code; amd. Ord. 2018-06, 6-6-2018, eff. 6-28-2018)
